It's a pity, It's a crying shame. Who pulled you down again?
How painful it must be to bruise so easily inside

It's a pity, it's a downright crime.
It happens all the time.
You wanna stay little daddy's girl, you wanna hide from the viscious world outside

Don't cry; you know the tears will do no good, so dry your eyes.

Your daddy, he's the iron man, battleship wrecked on dry land.
Your momma, she's a bitter bride, and she'll never be satisfied,
You know, and that's not right.

But don't cry. You know the tears will do no good, so dry your eyes.
They told you life is hard. It's misery from the start.
It's dull, it's slow, it's painful.
But I tell you life is sweet.
In spite of the misery, there's so much more, so be grateful.
Well, who do you believe?
Who will you listen to, who will it be,
Because it's high time that you decide in your own mind.

I've tried to comfort you, I tried to tell you to be patient,
That they are blind and they can't see
That fortune's gonna come one day.
It's all gonna fade away,
Your daddy the war machine
And your momma the long and suffering prisoner of what she can not see.

For they told you life is hard, misery from the start.
It's dull, it's slow, it's painful.
But I tell you life is sweet.
In spite of the misery, there's so much more, so be grateful.

So who will you believe?
Who will you listen to, who will it be,
Because it's high time that you decide.
It's time to make up your own, your own state of mind.

They told you life is long, be thankful when it's done,
Don't ask for more, be grateful.
But I tell you life is short.b
Be thankful, because before you know it, it will be over.
Because life is sweet.
Life is oh so very short.
Life is sweet
And life is all so very short
Life is sweet
Life is sweet
